OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by davysnavywife (Groton CT) on February 9, 2011 at 1:55am: Good idea Missy. That's where I want to stay as well.

Comment by ProudNavyWife Ship 7 Div110 on February 9, 2011 at 12:23am: I booked my room at the Navy Lodge cause it has a kitchen but it's about $20 less than many of the other similar hotels in the area. Plus, they're pet friendly! :)

Comment by davysnavywife (Groton CT) on February 8, 2011 at 11:34pm: Hi Waynesmom

My hubby is going in for the same thing. SECF. I am not sure when they will leave for Groton. I guess we just have to learn to wait! LOL It's so hard! I write to my SR everyday and ask him to tell me as soon as he hears something.

Comment by waynesmom (Ship 07 Div 114) on February 8, 2011 at 11:09pm: navywife23 -My son is going to Groton after BC for SECF job. (Submarine Electronics Computer Field) What is your husband going for?

Does anyone know what determines how soon they leave after BC for school?

Comment by davysnavywife (Groton CT) on February 8, 2011 at 10:52pm: Hi everyone. Just wondering if any of you have SRs going to Groton for sub school after BC and if so are you planning on joining him or her?

I joined a Groton group to do more research but I am already close to all of you! So maybe we can learn things together. : - )

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 8, 2011 at 9:35pm: Thanks Diannep for being here when I wasn't lol. I have been out most of the day taking my mom for some more tests this morning and then shopping for the PIR ribbon supplies. It was a long day.

Someone needs to alert the postal service, there is a new group of stalkers on the loose lol :-)

Comment by missinghim(ship 7,div110) on February 8, 2011 at 9:23pm: Diannep- I sent the first one correctly but the last few I have sent this past Thursday... I can only think positively and pray that they get there.

Link to the ship names is below in the posts.

Comment by diannep on February 8, 2011 at 9:13pm: JensensMom: GradNGo means that they leave either on Fri or Sat for A school. If they are GradNGo to the Great Lakes base, they move over there right after PIR for a few hours, and then can visit with family for the weekend...maybe even overnights. If they are flying out to A School, they will have most of Fri with you and then will need to be back at RTC. Families can meet them at the airport (find out which one they are flying out of!) and wait at the gate with them on Sat. if the airlines issues you a military gate pass (take ID). Your SRs will know if they are GradNGo a few weeks before PIR.

And it is true that many times the lower numbered divisions are GradNGo, but not always written in stone! My son's was the first division when there, and his and the next division were GradNGo. Not sure beyond those two.

missinghim: If you don't get the letters back, then hopefully he is getting them!
